Institutional, Planning And Demand Risks For Urban Mass Rapid Transit ProjectsRichard Di Bona
This document discusses three key risks for urban mass rapid transit projects: institutional risks, planning risks, and demand risks. It notes that multiple public agencies may be involved in transit projects and outlines potential issues with conflicting objectives or priorities between agencies. The document also emphasizes the importance of integrating different transit modes and lines through effective planning. Finally, it states that accurate forecasting of passenger demand is important to mitigate demand risks.
This document outlines NOAA's nearshore strategies for South Puget Sound. It discusses how nearshore systems are physically dynamic and operate at large scales, influenced by watersheds and drift cells. A landform-based framework is proposed to plan restoration at the scale of physical systems. A gradient analysis approach is suggested to identify sites based on their potential for ecosystem services and level of degradation. South Puget Sound is identified as a key opportunity area due to its many high potential inlet protection sites and loss of barrier embayments. The document acknowledges further questions around sediment management and inlet functions that require more study.
The document discusses HERS rater certifications and the HERS program. It explains that HERS I rater certification training qualifies raters to verify energy efficiency measures required by California building standards, such as duct testing and refrigerant charge measurement. HERS II aims to implement whole-home energy ratings for existing and new homes. The HERS disclosure booklet informs home buyers about California's home energy rating program. The document also describes the Energy Efficient Mortgage program which allows energy upgrades to be financed into mortgages, and provides a case study example.

The Universal Standards for Social Performance Management (SPM) are a set of management standards developed by the Social Performance Task Force (SPTF) to evaluate the social performance of microfinance institutions pursuing a double bottom line of financial sustainability and social goals. The standards are organized into six categories and are meant to provide clear guidelines for strong SPM practices. They were developed collaboratively over 18 months through multiple rounds of public feedback. The standards draw from existing work in the field and are intended to be a useful tool for various stakeholders in microfinance.
El documento habla sobre el envejecimiento y la sexualidad en la vejez, mencionando cómo usar condones después de los 50 años y los riesgos en el baño. Contiene bromas entre amigos sobre la edad y la capacidad sexual, y concluye destacando la importancia de disfrutar la vida a cualquier edad.
Una pareja de ancianos compartió una hamburguesa y papas fritas en McDonald's, cortando la comida a la mitad y tomando del mismo refresco. Cuando un joven les ofreció comprarles más comida, el anciano explicó que estaban acostumbrados a compartir todo, aunque la anciana no había comido debido a que no tenía dientes.
The document describes LightBridge, an interactive urban lighting installation on the Harvard Bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge. It consisted of 9,600 LED nodes along the pedestrian railing that responded to pedestrian movements detected by 400 proximity sensors. The lights provided ambient patterns and interactive games using low-resolution animations. It required extensive planning, volunteer support, and technical work to implement the responsive light infrastructure as a temporary art installation.
